Another day, another outrage, and once again no one seems to notice or care.
Trump has posted on social media an AI generated photograph of himself in military uniform flanked by General Douglas MacArthur and General George Patton. But of course Trump presents himself as ranking higher and with far more medals than either of those actual war heroes.
Of course this is the very definition of Stolen Valor, which is a federal crime. Donny Bone Spurs, who never served a day in the US military, and is certainly no war hero, seems immune to criticism.
Of course this is the same trump who said John McCain was no hero because he (trump) preferred soldiers who weren’t captured. And did we forget when trump called our fallen heroes in France “Suckers and Losers”?
Yet his cult members could care less. The religious right didn’t seem to care when trump posted another AI generated photo of himself as Jesus. And maga veterans and active duty military don’t care about trump play-acting war hero.
What is it about this megalomaniac that his cult willingly overlooks his daily trespasses? Take a short second to imagine the howls of outrage from the false patriots on the right, if any other President had pulled such a stunt.
Even among his critics this latest barely raised an eyebrow. He has literally beaten Americans into submission, we are so exhausted by the daily flood of his lies, grifting, and self-aggrandizing behavior.
The US Supreme Court upholds the $5 million settlement trump must pay for raping E. Jean Carroll. Capital One Bank shuts down 300 Trump accounts for suspicion of money laundering. Billions of dollars from foreign entities flooding Trump associated crypto projects. No bid contracts awarded to family and contributor owned businesses. Insider trading, quid pro quo bribery. Ho Hum, just another day in trumpland.
Melania summed it up perfectly when she wore her infamous jacket emblazoned with the words “I really don’t care. Do you?”
